When Lola was born the First World War
Dm Em F
Had only just ended 3 years before
C G
In ’77 she took a flight
Dm Em F
She told a reporter who asked her that it was alright

2002 is the year that she died
Dm Em F
She lived in Manhattan on the Upper West Side
Dm Em F
If you look on the web that’s almost all that will show

There once was a Lola Aglialoro
[Verse 2]
C G
She always said she was from England
Dm Em F
But after she died I learned she came from the mainland
C G
The last Kindertransport was the one shе was on
Dm Em F

Only 2 of her own, but so many others would follow
G C
My nanny Lola Aglialoro
[Verse 3]
C G
She always said she never had
Dm Em F
G problem with the gangsters they said were so bad
C G
She would laugh loudly, as she often did
Dm Em F
Saying I knew all the gangsters when they were wee kids
C G
She said not one child should be forsaken
Dm Em F
Maybe because her own childhood had been taken
Dm Em F
G woman of joy, a woman of sorrow

G lady named Lola Aglialoro

As I grew up I still kept in touch
Dm Em F
With this woman who had affected so many so much

Dm Em F
Who seemed to know so deeply what laughter was worth
C G
There’s no Stumbling Stone to recall when she came
Dm Em F
And she long ago changed both her first and last name
Dm Em F
But now there’s a song so someone out there might know
G C
There was once a Lola Aglialoro
